this is about 23 years too late for former eagle scout james dale. in 1990 james who was then at student at rutgers university in new jersey was kicked out of the boy scouts after the organization learned that he was a member of rutgers gay/straight allowance. he was bluntly told that avowed homosexuals were not allowed. james filed suit and the supreme court eventually ruled against him and for the scouts in the year 2000. tonight i'm very pleased to welcome james inside "the war room." james, how are you? >> i'm doing great. thank for having me. >> jennifer: you bet. did you ever think there would be a day where they would be talk about allowing openly gay boys and scouts to be in the organization. >> of course i thought this day would come. unfortunately it has taken a long time but it is a step in the right direction. >> jennifer: it certainly is. local chapters can still be able to decide for themselves whether to allow gay scouts. do you think this decision by the national boy scouts goes far enough? >> the fact when there was an anti gay polic
